Cosmic Garbage Bin, The
| | Company |
The Interlude Company |
Synopsis:
The story centres around a disgruntled theatre custodian, Gustav Croaker, who encounters an intergalactic garbage collector named Gorfo Ghirk. Initially Gus is so afraid and repelled by Gorfo, who is so strange and different than he, that he destroys Gorfo's life support system plunging Gorfo towards almost certain death. Encouraged by the pleas of the children, Gus sees the error of his ways and, working frantically, restores Gorfo to good health. It is then that the two team up to hunt down Gorfo's quarry, Voracious Ted the Garbage Monster, who has been seen destroying planets and lifeforms throughout the galaxy. It is an hour of non stop excitement that is highlighted by beautifully crafted puppets, the appearance of a monster that eats grown men in one bite, and a full size, fully functional space ship!! The production's timeless themes of cultural tolerance towards environmental awareness are the reasons why the production continues touring to this day.
